ONE WILD NIGHT The Evidence and the Ally
The third floor of the university library was empty at 8 PM, just the buzz of the lights over empty study tables. I found Sam in the far corner, bent over a laptop, her face pale in the screen’s glow.“Maya.” She looked up as I came closer, her eyes flicking around nervously. “Thank God you came. I wasn’t sure you’d trust me after everything.”“What did you find that was too dangerous to tell me on the phone?”Sam pulled out a flash drive, her hands shaking a little. “I’ve been watching the university’s admin system since we last talked. After your interview, there’s been… a lot of activity.”She plugged in the drive and opened a folder labeled "COLLINS,INVESTIGATION." My stomach dropped at seeing my name as a file header."Maya, they've been building a case against you for weeks. Not just about the scholarship,about everything." Sam clicked through documents. "Look at this."The first file was a psychological evaluation request, dated two days after the scandal.“University counseli
ONE WILD NIGHT The Friend of the Family
I stood outside the coffee shop on Fifth Street, checking my phone for the third time. 1:58 PM. Two minutes early, just like Patricia had taught me. Always arrive first, always control the meeting space, always have an exit strategy.The mysterious message from "A friend of the family" had kept me awake for two nights. What if Victoria isn't the real enemy? The words echoed in my head like a warning bell.The coffee shop was busy enough to hide in, but quiet enough to talk. I picked a table in the back corner, facing the door, with a clear view of the street. Paranoid? Maybe. But after everything I’d learned about Victoria’s web of connections, paranoia felt like survival.“Maya Collins?”I looked up. A woman was coming toward my table. She looked to be in her mid-fifties, with silver hair in a neat bun, wearing a dark blue jacket that looked expensive. She walked with the confidence of someone used to being in charge."Yes. You're the one who texted me?"She sat down across from me w
ONE WILD NIGHT The Paper trail
The rush from the live interview was still running through me when I got back to the dorm, but Zoe’s face wiped out any sense of victory.“Maya, we need to talk.” She was sitting on her bed, laptop open, looking pale. “That interview was amazing, but… how did you know all that about Victoria? The blogger, the leaked info, the way she coordinated everything?”I sat down hard, the weight of what I’d just done pressing on me. “Honestly? Most of it was educated guessing… and hoping I was right“Most of it?”I pulled out my phone and opened a folder I’d been building for weeks. “But not all of it. Zoe, someone’s been helping me. Someone who knows things they shouldn’t know.”It had started three days after the scandal broke. I’d been in the library, hiding in the back corner with my economics textbook, when a girl I didn’t recognize slid into the seat across from me. She was maybe twenty, with short black hair and nervous eyes.“Maya Collins?” she’d whispered.I’d looked up, expecting anot
ONE WILD NIGHT Truth Under Fire
The Channel 7 studio felt like a battlefield under the bright lights. I sat in the makeup chair, watching the artist cover the dark circles under my eyes, the stress that had shown on my face all week."You're going to do great," Elena said, checking her notes one final time. "Remember, this is your chance to tell your story. Stay calm, stick to the facts, and don't let anyone rattle you."On the studio monitor, the opening words flashed: “LIVE AT 8: MAYA COLLINS SPEAKS OUT.” My stomach twisted, but Mom’s voice rang in my head, Don’t you dare let them silence you. Don’t you dare say sorry for telling the truth."Thirty seconds to air," the floor manager called.Elena took her position across from me, her professional smile masking the intensity in her eyes. She knew this interview could make both our career or destroy them."Good evening, I'm Elena . Tonight, we have an exclusive live interview with Maya Collins, the Westfield University student at the center of what's being called th
ONE WILD NIGHT The War Begins
I woke to the sound of my phone vibrating against the nightstand like an angry wasp. The screen showed 247 missed calls, 892 text messages, and notifications that made my stomach drop.Outside my dorm window, news vans crowded the street like soldiers ready for battle."Maya." Zoe's voice was gentle but urgent. "You need to see this."Zoe who has been busy with school and work .She handed me her laptop, and I saw my face staring back from every major news site. The headlines were says”“STONE HEIR CALLS BABY MAMA A LIAR”"SHE NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP" -“BILLIONAIRE'S BRUTAL TAKEDOWN”“WESTFIELD STUDENT'S PREGNANCY SCANDAL EXPLODES”"It gets worse," Zoe said quietly, scrolling down. "Someone leaked your work schedule, your class roster, even your scholarship details. They know everything, Maya."My blood turned to ice. Only university administrators had access to that information. Someone on the inside was feeding them details.The comments section was a war zone. Half called me a lying
ONE WILD NIGHT Watching Him Erase Me
Maya povI shouldn’t have turned on the TV.I knew it the second his face filled the screen.Alexander Stone stood in his perfect suit, while Victoria Blackwell held onto his arm like a queen beside her king. The cameras loved them, shining and graceful, as if they were made for the spotlight. Maybe they were.I was just the girl sitting in a cramped dorm room, the ceiling light buzzing weakly above me, wrapped in the same hoodie I’d thrown on after class.“Play it again,” I whispered, though no one was there to hear. My thumb trembled as I turned the volume up.The anchor’s voice poured from the tiny screen, calm but cruel, slicing through me with every word.“In a shocking press conference earlier today, billionaire heir Alexander Stone and finance Victoria Blackwell addressed the rumors of an alleged affair and pregnancy. Stone strongly denied the claims, calling them, quote, a desperate attempt at financial extortion.”The clip rolled, and there he was again ,Alex. My Alex.Only h
